Sorrowful

Famous quotes containing the word sorrowful:

    Angels’ song, comforting
    as the comfort of Christ
    When he spake tenderly
    to his sorrowful flock:
    Robert Bridges (1844–1930)

    Madame Pertelote, my worldes bliss,
    Harkneth these blissful birdes how they sing,
    And see the freshe flowers how they spring;
    Full is mine heart of revel and solace!’
    But suddenly him fell a sorrowful case,
    For ever the latter end of joy is woe.
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)

    Oft have I played at cards and dice,
    Because they were so enticing;
    But this is a sad and sorrowful day
    To see my apron rising.
    Unknown. The Rantin Laddie (l. 1–4)
